The Inbicon Biomass Refinery is a new pathway for producing ethanol from agricultural waste. We discovered, and patented, a number of front-end processes that changed the inputs and the outcomes of ethanol production all the way through. For example, we utilize mechanical conditioning of the biomass, hydrothermal pre-treatment, and enzymatic hydrolysis in new ways. Each step prepares the way for the steps that follow.

We continue to identify and protect new inventions in biomass conversion technology with ongoing patent activity. We will vigorously defend our patents internationally, wherever infringement occurs.

At the same time, we also recognize the great benefits of collaboration and open dialogue in finding better ways to a clean energy future.  We seek symbiotic partnerships, particularly with those who license our technology and with their vendors as they help bring it to commercialization.
